Missing Thorfinn and deep philosophy? We got you!
It's obvious that we don't need to tell you how great Vinland Saga is. You've heard it hundreds of times already.
And if you also agree that this series is really special, and are looking for something that will remind you of the magical time when you finished the first episode of Vinland Saga, we've got a small anime list for you.
Berserk
Dark fantasy with gore, drama and sword fights ― this is definitely something a Vinland Saga fan would like.
Born from a corpse and raised as a mercenary, Guts is destined to be hunted by demons. But he has no intention of accepting such a fate and is ready to fight whatever beasts come his way. And his monstrous blade Dragonslayer will help him on his brutal journey.
Dororo
The main protagonist of Dororo, Hyakkimaru, is also a man of few words, who's driven by revenge. Just like Thorfinn!
Due to the deal with the demons his father had made, Hyakkimaru was born without various body parts. If he wants to get them back and get his revenge on the ones who've wronged him, he has to defeat the demons and reclaim his body. And little Dororo will be there to assist him.
Castlevania
If you also want to add some vampires, you might want to try out Castlevania.
When his human wife is burned at stake, Dracula is seeking vengeance. He promises to destroy the entire city and make the people pay for what they've done. There aren't many people who can save the city from an army of demons, but Trevor is the one who'd like to try.
Parasyte: The Maxim (Kiseijuu: Sei no Kakuritsu)
There will be no vikings or sword fights in this anime, but if you're craving a deep, philosophical and emotional experience, Parasyte is a must-watch.
Parasitic aliens descended upon Earth. They can infiltrate human bodies and wreak complete havoc.
But when one of such parasites chooses Shinichi as its victim, it fails. And now he has to live in the boy's right hand.
Record of Ragnarok (Shuumatsu no Walküre)
(2)_17642.webp)
The gods of the world hold a gathering every 1000 years to decide the fate of humankind. This time their decision is not so kind: disappointed by human behavior and repulsed by their sins, the gods choose to end humanity.
However, the Valkyries intervene and propose a way for humanity to prove it's not so hopeless. The Ragnarok tournament is the last chance for people to show their worth and deserve their survival.
